Principal focus of the project: 

This project focused on how tutors used formative assessment strategies to support English learners.

What is this about and what were the main findings: 

The aim of the project was to help learners to take greater ownership of their own progression and unlock their ability to reflect on what went well and how they could get even better. Alongside this, the project aimed for learners to see the links between their vocational qualifications and maths and English. Tutors implemented a variety of strategies including  providing learners with dedicated criteria for marking their own work and found learners responses became more detailed and confidence in contributing in class increased for a number of learners.
